A Place for Mom, a senior care referral marketplace, has hired Chris Milone as chief marketing officer to revamp its marketing strategy for younger caregivers. Milone previously held CMO roles at Best Egg and KeyBank's Laurel Road. The company is pivoting from its heavy reliance on Google ads to reach millennials, who now comprise 26% of America's 63 million caregivers, up from 23% in 2015. The median caregiver age is 49.6. Milone plans to increase spending on connected TV and Meta whilst ensuring the company's content appears on AI chatbots. He's also leveraging YouTube and social media creators to position A Place for Mom as an industry voice, focusing on helping caregivers prepare before crises occur rather than responding to emergencies.
For second year in a row, Morning Light Strategy leads national caregiving research for A Place for Mom. The 2025 State of Caregiving Report highlights important findings about family caregiver challenges. Caregiving in the US continues to evolve, shaped by longer lifespans, changing family dynamics, and growing pressure on informal caregivers. For the second year in a row, Morning Light Strategy partnered with A Place for Mom to conduct a national study exploring how caregivers experience this reality day to day. The findings from this year's research informed A Place for Mom's newly released 2025 State of Caregiving Report, which examines caregiving not just as a set of tasks, but as a lived consumer journey shaped by emotion, tradeoffs, and ongoing decision-making. Following its initial caregiving study with A Place for Mom in 2024, this second wave of research reflects a continued commitment to understanding caregivers as people navigating complex roles, responsibilities, and life transitions. While each annual study captures a fresh snapshot of caregiving today, one throughline remains consistent: caregiving decisions do not happen in isolation. They unfold over time, influenced by family dynamics, financial realities, emotional strain, and access to information and support. This year's work builds on that foundation with new data, updated perspectives, and continued focus on how caregivers experience care planning in real life. Research designed for public understanding and real-world impact This study was designed to support a public-facing report intended for broad audiences, including caregivers themselves, industry leaders, and policymakers. The insights from the 2025 State of Caregiving Report have already contributed to national conversation around caregiving, including coverage in Forbes. Caregiving touches millions of households, yet is often framed narrowly or abstractly. By grounding this research in caregivers' lived experiences, the goal is to create a clearer, more human understanding of what caregiving looks like today and where support systems fall short. About Morning Light Strategy: Morning Light Strategy is an insights & advisory agency on a mission to help brands, agencies, and innovators understand consumers through the lens of life transitions - reframing aging, caregiving, and longevity as opportunities for growth and connection.
